dannyhack Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Ok basically, my MOT failed on a few things and i got them all fixed including i thought the handbrake.I took it back today for a re test and everything passed apart from the handbrake...The guy reckoned it was either the caliper or the cables.How would i check which one it is? :SThanks in advance.

james@cjperformance Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 What exactly did it fail on, best off replacing cheapest first so go for the cables.mopre than likely rusted to hell and back if they arw original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyhack Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 just said that handbrake performance didnt pass standards. so yeah will go for cables first i reckon, is it worth getting both sides? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yeah do both sides mate at least you know its right then:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fowcbler Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 How far up can you pull the Handbrake handle? 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, etc...??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 i had the same problem with the handbrake, i had my drum apart today (im n/a) and just adjusted them, goin in for retest tomorrow so fingers crossed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyhack Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 goes up about 60 degrees mate i have sprayed the cables underneath and worked the handbrake loads just to try and free it up, then i adjusted the cable inside the car where the handbrake actually sits.going to have a look at the calipers tomorrow and maybe order new cables, if i dont need them then i can always send them back.
